The Financial Times is looking for a Web Developer to join their 350+ people technology team.

The FT is currently building and designing a high performance, scaleable Email Platform using a microservice architecture built with NodeJS. It provides APIs and UIs to the next generation FT.com site and other key business users. Playing a critical role in enhancing user engagement it is currently responsible for sending around 45M emails a month.

You will be involved in architectural decisions as well as the direct implementation of the defined services. You will help shape the project direction and be using continuous deployment within a genuinely agile team who are striving to deliver quality products with realistic timescales. You will also be encouraged to explore new technologies and approaches that best fit the problem set.

We ensure engineers have the tools they need - people are free to choose the OS and device type that suits them, and we encourage exploration of new tools and techniques. We believe in multi-disciplined co-located teams empowered to choose their own development methodologies. Most teams choose to practise continuous delivery.

We run regular 48 hour hack days which all employees are able to participate in. We also use a variation on hackdays at the inception of projects, called "quickstarts", and actively encourage attendance and participation at external events and conferences.

We have an emerging web technologies team called FT Labs. We experiment with exciting new web technologies to bring the world's finest journalism to new platforms, technologies and channels.
